Student Affairs and Higher Education Practitioners as Self-Directed Learners: A Resource for Bridging Theory and Practice
Amanda Armstrong
William & Mary Educational Review, v3 n2 Article 1 p4-7 2015
This article it is to help guide residence life, financial aid, or student leadership practitioners in continuing the learning process after they have completed their coursework and obtained their degree. The structured sense of education does not equate to learning and it is imperative to develop lifelong learning skills outside of the education one once pursued. Not only are practitioners educators, but they are also social change agents and/or keepers of the status quo. By increasing individual awareness, practitioners can more aptly direct their learning, analyze current beliefs, and transform their actions.
